The cosmopolitan south London suburb of Brixton has overcome a difficult reputation to become one of the most exciting of the capital’s areas thanks to the ethnic diversity of its population, which has generated a colourful mix of shops, cafés, restaurants, clubs and markets.

Brixton Market – a collection of markets under one banner – dates back from the 1870s and is one of Europe’s largest Afro-Caribbean food markets, while Brixton Art Gallery champions urban art and culture, and small and large music venues include Carling Brixton Academy, The Fridge and Mass.

Fresh food is also available every Sunday at Brixton Farmers’ Market on Brixton Station Road where fruit and vegetables are supplied by farms in Kent, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. These can be found alongside bread, flowers, juice, cheese, chutneys and preserves that serve a growing community interested in the provenance of their food.

About our e-newsletter

We promise that we will never, ever pass your details to anyone else or overwhelm you with emails – we send one a month, occasionally two (unless we have something really amazing that we think you will want to know about straightaway!).

And we will always make it really easy for you to unsubscribe – one click, straight from the email. We never want to lose our readers but we know how hugely irritating it is when the unsubscribe facility is made as difficult to use as possible..
